Fairywigs Have a Fine

Making custom wigs starts with measuring the subject's head. The natural human hair wig is arranged in flat curls against the head as the various measurements are taken. It is often helpful to make a pattern from layers of transparent adhesive tape applied over a piece of plastic wrap, on which the natural hairline can be traced accurately.


These measurements are then transferred to the "block", a wooden or cork-stuffed canvas form the same size and shape as the client's head. Depending on the style of the Cheap Real Hair Wigs, a foundation is made of net or other material, different sizes and textures of mesh being used for different parts of the human hair wig. The edges and other places might be trimmed and reinforced with a narrow ribbon called "galloon".

Sometimes flesh colored silk or synthetic material is applied where it will show through the hair at crown and partings, and small bones or elastic are inserted to make the wig fit securely. Theatrical, and some fine fairywigs have a fine, flesh colored net called "hair lace" at the front which is very inconspicuous in wear and allows the hair to look as if it is coming directly from the skin underneath.
